Balance Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I skipped around a lot more today because I was tackling a much more damaging Hard opponent--the Turmaculus--so I had to fight more pushovers to heal. Observations from today's battling: 1) The false "Item limit reached" message bug is fixed. It no longer displays the message until you have received 15 items. 2) You still get nothing for some fights. (I had a long dry spell--7 fights in a row with no items.) 3) You can get 3 items from a single fight. (My first fight awarded a weapon, a food, and a challenger-themed item. Unlike my test in the Cauldron, the foods did not seem to follow an arena theme.) Subjectively, it seems that alternating between a very tough opponent and much weaker ones resulted in lesser rewards. It could just have been luck of the draw, though--much more data will be needed to support that conclusion. I think I will return to my Balthazar-bashing tomorrow to see if the rewards from that were a fluke. My usual listing, in case we decide to analyze it further at some point: Battle 1: Turmaculus, Hard (900) 600 NP Fire Muffin Fried Egg on Toast Turmac Tape Dispenser Battle 2: Mr. Chuckles, Hard (17) 254NP Apple Cobbler Cursed Wand of Shadow Battle 3: Mr. Chuckles, Hard (17) 254NP Battle 4: Shadow Usul, Hard (700) 392NP Cursed Wand of Shadow Battle 5: Shadow Usul, Hard (700) NP Limit Bri Codestone Apple and Cheese Sandwich Battle 6: Tekkitu the Witch Doctor, Hard (600) Nothing. (No item limit message.) Battle 7: Tekkitu the Witch Doctor, Hard (600) Nothing. (No item limit message.) Battle 8: Tekkitu the Witch Doctor, Hard (600) Nothing. (No item limit message.) Battle 9: Tekkitu the Witch Doctor, Hard (600) Nothing. (No item limit message.) Battle 10: Balthazar, Hard (640) Nothing. (No item limit message.) Battle 11: Balthazar, Hard (640) Nothing. (No item limit message.) Battle 12: Mr. Chuckles, Easy (10) Nothing. (No item limit message.) Battle 13: Turmaculus, Hard (900) Wrapped Strawberry Candy Battle 14: Mr. Chuckles, Easy (10) Nothing.

Battle 16: Chia Clown, Easy (10) French Toast Sticks Basket of Bread Battle 17: Turmaculus, Hard (900) Freshly Tinned Carrots Battle 18: Chia Clown, Easy (10) Blue Berry Pie (Challenger-themed? I'm pretty sure I've gotten the same pie from him before I started keeping records.) Battle 19: Turmaculus, Hard (900) Turmac Roll Yo-Yo (Challenger-themed) Battle 20: Chia Clown, Easy (10) Caramel Creams Battle 21: Turmaculus, Hard (900) Item Limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullonparanoid Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I have been playing daily until no longer able to collect prizes after 10 'you've reached your limit' notices. The past 2 days I have just played until I saw 15 items in my inventory (presumably I have hit that 15 mark daily since prizes actually started being doled out). I got a Basic Golden Nerkmid on one of the first prize days...but, have not gotten a 'high value' item since. Today is the first day I remembered to take note of my prizes before processing them...and it was actually a better than average day for me. My 15 prizes (all won by beating S750 Kreludan Defender Robot on Hard) were: Helm-mounted Laser beam Kew Codestone Vux Codestone Zed Codestone Lu Codestone Mau Codestone Blue Neocola Tokens x3 Red Neocola Tokens x3 Evil Negg Space Spice N-4 Info Retrieval Bot Not so shabby. Do wish I'd get another Nerkmid though :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I'll leave off the detailed list this time, though I'm still tracking them. I fought Balthazar, reaching the item limit after the 9th battle.Every fight gave at least item this time. That could be luck, or it could be another bug fixed. I'm still getting a few items appearing in my inventory without showing on the reward popup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manniqueen Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Did anyone ever see that exclusive beta testers gift? I just remembered about it today, and I don't remember receiving anything. Of course, it could just be that they have not yet given it away.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I didn't get anything, so I hope it hasn't been given out yet :nerd: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I haven't heard anyone say that they have recieved a gift yet, so I guess they just haven't gotten around to it! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn the Human Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hey anyone noticed on the Neopian Times someone asked to downgrade the Darkfire Swift Meerca Bomb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedwallflower Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 yes what the blazes?? i LOVE that weapon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn the Human Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 yes what the blazes?? i LOVE that weapon! It used to be a multiple use the day it came out, them a once per battle and if TNT makes it a Single Use, they won't be heard of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hey anyone noticed on the Neopian Times someone asked to downgrade the Darkfire Swift Meerca Bomb! Just read it myself! That's disappointing (but it makes sense). We'll need to update the BP when it changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, the programmers are already doing something! i really use it all the time for all my battles :( i cant believe someone complained though.. its a cheap and great item! what more could you want? IKR, TNT needs to make more effective bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Sadly, the programmers are already doing something! I know the editorial said that, but the Negg is currently still once per battle. When they change it is when we'll change the BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
